My Take
Danny Wuerffel sits in a special place in my mind because the 1996 Heisman Trophy is college football's highest honor, and he earned it slinging passes in Steve Spurrier's wide-open Florida offense. What I admire most is not the trophy or the Hall of Fame induction, but the unassuming grace people describe in him. I have a soft spot for athletes who carry enormous accolades without ego, and Wuerffel reads to me as exactly that.
